Another cool gig coming up... 'Limes Hotel - Rooftop Bar' on Thursday 15th April. It's on Constance Street, just down from the Fringe Bar and BarSoma in the Valley. They have lots of great food and drink and a cookin vibe! Hope you can join us as we do ever-so-slightly mellower versions of intense indy-jazz-fusion... ha!
Fun
times at Easterfest
Great turn-out for the jazz and blues session on Sunday afternoon at Easterfest.
Thank you to all the volunteers and organisers for putting on another
great festival!!
Gotta love Trent's Spongebob tshirt!
Our yearly trip to Toowoomba is coming up again this Easter! Easterfest is a giant festival in Queens Park, featuring Christian music of almost every genre from 'Cybertronic-sci-fi' to 'folk' to 'metal' to 'jazz fusion'. We're stoked to be part of this festival as the Trio for our fifth consecutive year!
We're performing on Easter Sunday at 5:20pm at the groovin' Hammered Silver stage. Check out www.easterfest.com.au for more information about the festival!
This week we're hitting the city and giving jazz to the people! With three performances in the new King George Square, and one in the Queen Street Mall, we are really hoping the rain will be easing off!
After a busy Christmas, it's been nice to take a good break. But we're back into it with our first show for this year at the Brisbane Jazz Club - Sat 6th Feb.
For the last few weeks, Jeremy has been touring Holland, France, England and Singapore with tap dance show called Project X. We are looking forward to welcoming him back with a show at the Queen Street Mall on Friday 30th October. Hopefully he will be buzzing from the trip! We'll make sure he gets plenty of coffee!
Blackstump
Festival October
2 - 5
We're
heading to NSW in October for Blackstump Festival! It's always a great
weekend, and we're looking forward to sharing our new material with the
folks down south! At this stage, it looks like we're playing on the Sunday
at 5pm in the Supper Club.
Up
Sets released!
Well,
it's out! Yay! Thanks so much for everyone who have supported us and helped
us with the new album and it's release! We had a great time at the Press
Club and are excited about more gigs to come - especially the Brisbane
Jazz Club on Friday 19th June. Keep that one in your diary.
We're also happy to say that the new album is available for purchase at
Rocking Horse Records (Bris), Birdland Records (Syd), and Basement
Discs (Melb), so if you dont have your hands on a copy yet, make
sure you hit up one of these stores or CD Baby online!
Thanks again everyone for supporting Brisbane jazz musos!
In anticipation of the release of our new album Up Sets, we've had some media exposure. This is exciting, as we hope to reach new audiences with our original music! A crazy picture of us really getting into the new album, made it to the front page of Brsibane's free city paper MX - (Jeremy might have given himself an 'Up Set' stomach)... And Timeoff has included a story about the trio's underground existence in the Brisbane jazz scene, which you can read about here: www.timeoff.com.au
After the official Album Launch on Wed 29th April, Up Sets will be available at Rockinghorse (Bris), Birdland Records (Syd), Basement Discs (Melb), and online at www.cdbaby.com for $25
This Easter, we hit Toowoomba for Easterfest! We were very busy backing lots of different bands including Raz Jazz, Newport, Stu Larsen, Mike Frost, JMX*2000, and of course SCAT. We also had a chance to play some trio sets, and jam out with our friends Jarred Haschek (Compliments of Gus - Melbourne) and Joel Parisien (New World Son - Canada). Keyboard craziness!!
Here are some reviews of the show:

Thanks to everyone who came, and to the organisers and volunteers at Easterfest. Hope you can make it to our album launch!
September last year, we recorded a live double album over two enjoyable nights. Now six months later, we're finally ready to release it!
Up Sets features two energetic upbeat sets of playful jazz/fusion - one disc for each set. What better way to launch this two-set live album than with a two-set live show at the Press Club! Come and see us perform tunes off the new recording, and you can pick up a copy to take home with you! Bring your friends! This should be lots of fun.
Wed 29th April - 9pm
Press Club - Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley
